CMT membership to non US MTs

In Reply to: The *American* AAMT now giving memberships/CMTs to foreign MTs.... - Sort of says it all, doesn't it?

The AAMT has always given out CMTs to anyone who is able to pass the exam, regardless of nationality. I am a Canadian MT who has been a CMT for several years and believe me, I did not take a dummied down version of the exam. I took the exact same exam as my US counterparts.

membership is about numbers.
The American Medical Association allows foreign nationals who practice in this country to join their association and nobody thinks a thing of it. AAMT, does nothing different than any other association specific to a secular group and everyone goes nuts. With increased membership comes increased revenue and it does take money to run any association or business. Shoot, it takes money to run a home. I wish that more people would do something constructive toward morphing this industry into an environment that would see us all working toward a common goal (whatever the heck we choose it to be) than all this constant negativity and AAMT bashing. If you are not interested .. okay .. so be it .. but quit the bashing .. what's the gain?? It was never conceived to be a union or bargaining unit for wage negotiation .. if you don't like the offering .. you don't need to change the name to roll with change.

And I will be ending my membership ASAP.

My membership is up beginning of June.

TT had a private group on yahoo and they verified membership
by using the last 3 digits of their employee number.
Certainly giving your employee ID limits your ability to talk freely on the TT board, so it is not used much; however, since many of you are probably transitioning out of MDI, it wouldn't prohibit open conversation too much.

You can only access the Jobs Board on MTDaily w/o paid membership. nm
